Design by Arturo Álvarez, 2003.Made in Spain by LAB Arturo Alvarez.

Custom tailor Sombras to your own tastes by mixing any two of 12 different colors of stained glass. Sombras is a game of chiaroscuro, light and shadow that seek the balance and sobriety of the spaces it illuminates. Every Arturo Alvarez stained glass diffuser is handcrafted one-by-one by trained artisans in limited series. Each Arturo Alvarez original is yours alone; no two pieces are exactly the same. Following the painstaking production process, Arturo Alvarez himself engraves his signature and the series number onto the finished diffuser, certifying that the craftsman has exceeded Arturo's personal standards for quality. Arturo Alvarez does not manufacture lights; they create original works of art whose beauty is optimized by illumination.
